Samsung continues to expand its mobile payments service in more markets across the globe. Samsung Pay went live in Hong Kong, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates just last week. There's mounting evidence to support the claim that Samsung Pay will finally be launched in the United Kingdom on May 16.
According to a new report, Samsung is also planning to launch its mobile payments service in France this year. The report claims that Samsung Pay will be launched in September for users in France.
A local retailer claims that Samsung wants to launch Samsung Pay in France along with a new smartphone. If that really is the case, the launch might be tied up with the Galaxy Note 8 which is normally launched around the same time every year. Samsung has already confirmed that a new Galaxy Note handset is coming later this year.
It's too soon to be sure right now which banks will be supporting Samsung Pay when it does launch in France. We should find that out closer to the actual launch.
Thanks, ANDROIDrouen!
